FIT - SAFETY - SERVICE

Your trike must fit you and your riding style. Period.  (see the Trike Fit chart at left)  As we learn more about your riding style, and you test ride trikes in our showroom...  we can narrow the wide list of trikes down to the ones that fit you best. We are experienced and trained to offer the best custom fit possible so you will enjoy your trike from the very first ride!

• Always perform a safety and maintenance check before you ride. Check bolts, brakes, tire inflation, steering, and all other components carefully. This only takes a few minutes and will help you learn more about your trike.
• Keep your trike in top condition.
• Always use safety equipment such as foot restraints (clips, straps), helmet, flag, hi-vis clothing, bell or horn, and lights.
• Ride in protected areas such as greenways and bike paths.
• Learn to ride and steer smoothly. Avoid over-braking and over-steering.
• Use extra caution around traffic and pedestrians. They may be distracted and not see you.
• Follow the rules of the road. Communicate to other drivers and use your good old common sense.
• Enjoy!

You may be a cycling pro... and then again you may be like most of us and occasionally need a reminder on the basics of smooth shifting. Here you go... 

• Always pedal while shifting.
• When learning to ride your trike, take it slow and concentrate on smooth shifting with the right shifter (rear cassette). Most riding conditions can be enjoyed with this shifter alone. The left shifter (front chain ring) can be explored once you are comfortable with the right shifter.
• While pedaling (with light to moderate pressure) shift one click at a time to make the pedaling resistance most comfortable and efficient. Avoid mashing with heavy pedal pressure during the shift. A slight momentary ease of pedal pressure during the shift is helpful.
• Anticipate your shift as you see large hills ahead and start the process so that you are properly geared as you start climbing. Your legs and derailleur will thank you.
• Ride comfortably and enjoy.

After riding your new trike for a few weeks, please set an appointment so we can double check all components to make sure all has settled in well. 

We are equipped to perform all regular service and maintenance for your trike. We recommend at least once per year depending on how often you ride. We work closely with our manufacturers to make sure your trike is assembled and tuned to perform as it was designed.
